Do you eat the stems of chanterelle mushrooms?
Chanterelles are some of the best-looking mushrooms in the forest, with tops that can be cup- or trumpet-shaped. They grow petite or chunky, with edible stems that can be spindly or thick (either way, just trim off the very bottom before cooking).
What goes well with chanterelles?
Chanterelles pair well with white wine and aromatic fresh herbs like thyme, tarragon, and chervil. Their peppery flavor is good with sweet onions or shallots; hazelnuts or pine nuts accent their nutty notes. Red meat can overpower chanterelles, but they are delicious with fish, poultry, or pork.
Can you eat chanterelle mushrooms raw?
When chanterelles are available, eating them fresh is best. You can have them raw, but I advise cooking them, and I advise cooking them in the simplest way possible that will retain the most of their natural flavour. Start by sautéing a small amount of shallots or garlic in extra virgin olive oil or butter.

Chanterelles keep best in the refrigerator in a sealed plastic container. Use paper towels to prevent the mushrooms from touching plastic. Change the paper towels when they become wet from condensation. The total time you can store chanterelles varies, depending on the condition of the mushrooms when they were picked.
